On3 • • sports
Key Points:
- LSU is expected to part ways with head coach Matt McMahon, with Will Wade rumored to be returning as LSU’s head coach, according to college basketball insider Jon Rothstein.
- Matt McMahon's tenure at LSU has been underwhelming, with no NCAA Tournament appearances and mostly sub-.500 seasons over four years.
- Wade's potential return to LSU is influenced by administrative moves, including LSU hiring Heath Schroyer as a senior administrator; Schroyer and LSU President Wade Rousse previously worked with Wade at McNeese.
- Will Wade revived his coaching career at McNeese after his initial LSU firing, leading the team to a 50-9 record and an NCAA Tournament upset before moving to NC State.
- While nothing is official yet, sources suggest Wade’s stint at NC State may last only one season before he returns to LSU.
